It is a classic.



Ugghhh...never heard of them, they must have been underground and off the radar even for shock value. bootlegs maybe...dunno.

That little plug in the top pic is for the airbox resonators that my 2010 doesn't have. I'll make a diy this weekend if anyone's interested.


Interested....but didn't Mod Shack already do this? I may be mistaken thou...

I don't know how I ever missed the fang vent DIY! Just found it.

What Modshack did was route fresh air directly to the main inlet of the airbox.

All I did was route extra air to the airbox via a hole meant for the airbox resonator. This requires a smaller dia hose (1.5in ID). My original intention was to bring the hose to the front slats of the bumper similar to Modshack's idea. But in the end, I decided that when the car is moving, the air just inside the bumper would be every bit as cold as the air outside (or a negligible difference at most). Pics on previous page.

Someone should do BOTH! :eek:
